Welcome to The Sharp Librarian blog!
My goal is to keep you informed of library happenings and connected to resources that will be beneficial to you and your students. This blog will be updated twice a month with important information regarding our Jones Paideia Magnet School Library.
WJPMS- our very own news program! Turn your televisions to Channel 3 at 8:05 AM for the latest Jones Paideia News. Ms. Morris's 4th graders will bring you the news this week. Students who are celebrating birthdays will be invited to come down after the news to pick up a birthday bookmark and pencil.
Access the Jones Paideia Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) at www.youseemore.com/mnps
You can access it from home, your classroom or your favorite coffee shop!
You will need to choose our library before searching the catalog. If you see a title you would like to check out, send me an email and I will bring it to you:)
Library Orientations will begin this week! Sign up to bring your class for a 45 minute period. All students will be able to check out their first book of the year. During our orientation we will discuss the rules and expectations of all library users.
Let's Collaborate! I am interested in meeting with your team to design and implement some fantastic lessons. Let me know when I can meet with you! Kindergarten will operate on a fixed schedule (1 x week-same day and time) while all other grades will operate on a flexible schedule. We can determine what works best for the project/lesson and your schedule.
Last year we had 2 laptops donated for teacher use. If you are interested in checking one out let me know!
Finally, thank you to everyone who has turned in their technology inventory forms and updated biographies. I appreciate your help with both endeavors!
